Further to our news earlier about the availability of Roger Waters' two new songs, we now have the full press release which announces the release, and includes comments from Roger himself about the tracks and releasing them for download on the internet. Here's the release in full:

Further to our previous items regarding the news that Roger Waters was making two new tracks available soon on the internet, for his fans to download, we now have the great news for you that these are now live on Roger's website - RogerWaters.com - and they are free!

Many thousands of Roger's fans have been patiently waiting today for the site to be updated with the tracks, and were rewarded at the end of the afternoon (UK time) with a stark new home page on the site.

We have been contacted with the news that the Pink Floyd "Autumn Campaign" is to start in the UK on September 13th. This is a special promotion, slashing the prices of all their albums - pre- and post- Roger Waters - to almost half in some cases.

The two exceptions are the Shine On box set, and the SACD of Dark Side Of The Moon. These remain at full price. Everything else, including the (so called!) limited edition special version of Is There Anybody Out There, gets a nice reduction, making it the perfect time to fill any gaps in your collection.

Solo albums are NOT included in the offer, which ends October 22nd. Coincidentally(!), this means the offer is running around the same time as Nick Mason's Inside Out book comes out, handy for record stores who are thinking of cross-promoting the book with the albums...

With thanks to José Abellán over at the Spanish Pink Floyd magazine, "Animals", we have details for the Tribute to Syd Barrett, being held from today until September 18th.
